The 1921 Oregon Agricultural Aggies football team represented Oregon Agricultural College (OAC)—now known as Oregon State University—as a member of the Northwest Conference and the Pacific Coast Conference (PCC) during the 1921 college football season. In their second season under head coach Dick Rutherford, the Aggies compiled an overall record of 4–3–2 and outscored their opponents, 231 to 42. Oregon Agricultural had a record of 1–1–1 in Northwest Conference play and 1–2–1 against PCC opponents, placing fourth in both conferences.[1]

Team captain fullback Gap Powell was selected as an All-American by Football World and Athletic World.[2] The team played home games at Bell Field in Corvallis, Oregon.

Background

[edit]

The 1921 football season was deemed a financial success by J.J. Richardson, general manager of student affairs at OAC.[3] Total receipts for the year were $25,378.41 — an increase of more than $5,000 from 1920.[3] Expenses, including travel costs and advertising, topped $12,000.[3] The windfall was attributed to solid attendances at home games against major opponents, while early-season match ups with Chemawa Indian School and the Multnomah Athletic Club were played "without profits," it was noted.[3]
